62 A Monograph of Culicidae. 



Abdomen apparently mottled brown and light, but this may be due 

 to drying, and clothed with rather long brown hairs. Legs unusually 

 long and slender ; coxae and trochanters light, with a few hair-like curved 

 brown scales. Kemainder of the legs light, covered with small, thin 

 brown scales, which, in some lights however, look much darker, with 

 almost purple iridescence, in other lights almost fawn colour. Ungues 

 equal and simple. Wings clear, brown scaled, with lanceolate scales ; 

 first sub-marginal cell extremely long, nearly twice as long as the second 

 posterior cell and a little narrower, the stem about half the length of the 

 cell, and a third shorter than that of the second posterior ; cross-veins 

 close together, and all about the same length, the supernumerary about 

 half its length interior to the mid, and the posterior about its own length 

 interior to the mid. Halter es, stem light, knob dark. 



Length. — 3 * 5 mm, (legs more than 10 mm.). 



Habitat. — Camp Stotsenberg, Angeles, Pampanga, Luzon, Philippine 

 Islands. 



Time of capture.— September (?)." 



Observations. — This species was described by Miss Ludlow 

 from a perfect specimen sent by Dr. Whitmore, and was caught 

 in the woods. Miss Ludlow says, " In spite that the prothoracic 

 lobes are not mammilla ted and indeed seem stalked, the other 

 characteristics point strongly to Stethomyia." I am not sure 

 myself, as I have not seen a specimen ; but it appears to me to 

 belong to a new though allied genus, for the flat spatulate head 

 scales of Stethomyia seem to be replaced by others. 



Stethomyia (?) culiciformis. James and Liston (1904). 

 Anopheles culiciformis. James and Liston. 

 Mono. Ind. Anop., p. 122 (1904). 

 Allied to S. nimba, but the $ fore ungues are single. 



" Palpi are entirely covered with brown scales ; without any band's ; 

 rather shorter than the proboscis. 



The head is chiefly covered with brown upright forked scales, but 

 there are a few white spindle-shaped scales in the middle line in front ; 

 there is no distinct frontal tuft of hairs. There are rather more numerous- 

 and stronger brown hair-like bristles around the eyes and on the front of 

 the head than is usual in other Anopheles. 



Thorax covered with a few white hair-like scales and many long 

 brown bristles. Prothoracic lobes distinctly mammillated, as in Theobald's 

 Stethomyia nimba, Scutellum with long brown bristles ; in the middle 

 there are a few short scale-like bristles. 



Abdomen brown, covered with numerous fine golden and coarse brown
